Answering your questions heading into the Patriots Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Rookies, receivers, and running the ball, it's all in here.
With the new roster rules in place for COVID, the Patriots only had to list five inactive players Sunday instead of the usual seven. Still, they managed to cram in some surprises.
If not for COVID, Thursday night would have been the Patriots annual preseason finale against the New York Giants. As was the case with the previous three canceled games, I turned on my Xbox for a virtual substitute.
According to the Boston Globe's Jim McBride, Cam Newton was named the Patriots starting quarterback by Bill Belichick during a team meeting on Thursday.
Thursday night should have been the second Patriots preseason game of 2020. Obviously that wasn't happening, so just like last week, a sim on Madden 20 was the logical solution.
The Patriots were supposed to play their preseason opener Thursday night, hosting the Detroit Lions. Obviously, because of COVID-19, that didn't happen. But what if it did?
Bill Belichick spent 30 minutes Friday afternoon speaking with Patriots media via a video call. It's the first time the coach has been available for questioning since April's NFL Draft. Here are the biggest takeaways:
Jarrett Stidham isn't getting the most Instagram attention when it comes to New England quarterbacks, but his fellow second-year Patriots are making sure he keeps the numbers up.
If you’re keeping score, as the result of disciplinary action by the league for Spygate, Deflategate and the Bengals taping incident, the Pats have now lost: two first-round picks, a third-round pick and a fourth-round pick. That is a ton of draft collateral, especially for a team that has not drafted well in recent years.
The former Patriots O-line coach reveals what he likes about Jarrett Stidham, but also warns of the "growing pains" that come with a young quarterback.
Adam Jones Show: Mark Daniels on the Patriots and their quarterback situation
Last year, despite a career high in receiving yards, Edelman’s play had slipped by year’s end. During the regular season, he led the NFL with a whopping 13 drops. Maybe that was the result of injury, maybe that was the result of overall workload resulting from four Super Bowl appearances in the five previous years, maybe it was the result of … age.
Julian Edelman isn't going to pout over Tom Brady leaving the Patriots. In fact, he's putting in work with his new potential quarterback, Jarrett Stidham.
